It worked quite well for a few years, but it got so old, and it was costing him _37 much in repairs, that hedecided that he had better 38 it.He asked among his friends to see if anyone was 39 to buy a cheap car, but they all knew that it was falling to pieces, so 40 of them had any desire to buy it.Dave’s friend Sam saw that he was 41 when they met one evening, and said, “What’s 42 , Dave?” Dave told him, and Sam answered, “Well, what about advertising(登广告) it in the paper? You may 43_more for it that way than the cost of the advertisement!” Thinking that Sam’s 44 was reasonable, he put an advertisement in an evening paper, which read: “For sale: small car, 45 very little gas, only two owners. Bargain at ￡50.”For two days after the advertisement first appeared, there was no 46_. but then on the Saturday evening he had an enquiry (咨询). A man rang up and said he would like to 47 him about the car. “All right.” Dave said, feeling happy. He asked the man whether ten o’clock the next morning would be 48_ or not. “Fine,” the man said, “and I’ll 49 my wife. We want to go for a ride in it to 50 it.”The next morning, at a quarter to ten, Dave parked the car in the square outside his front door, 51 to wait there for the people who had 52 his advertisement. Even Dave had to 53 that the car really looked like a wreck (残破的车). Then, soon after he had got the car as 54 as it could be, a police car stopped just behind him and a policeman got out.

Before our music programme at four, I’m going to repeat some of our hospital rules.The hospital can sleep 800 patients. There’re 8 beds in each ward (病房). The visiting hours are in the afternoon from2:30 to 3:30 and in the evening from 7:00 to 8:00. But remember only two people can see you at the same time. Sorry about that, but you can see what would happen if we didn’t have these rules.The other rules are about our hours. We start quite early---you might not be used to that. We wake you at 6 o’clock, and breakfast is at 8 o’clock, lunch is at noon.There’s tea at 3:30 and supper is at 6 o’clock.You can see the non-smoking sign –-- we don’t allow smoking in the wards. I’m sure you understand why. However, if you do need to smoke, there are some smoking rooms where It is allowed.You will find the radio switch (开关) on the wall near your bed, with your own headphones, if you want to listen. It’s our own hospital radio wishing you a quick recovery (康复).56. Who do you think the listeners might be?A. Patients.B. Visitors.C. DoctorsD. Nurses57. How many wards are there in this hospital?A. 8B. 80C. 100D. 80058. Which is Not allowed in the hospital?A. Listening to the hospital radio.B. Visiting patients in the morning.C.

A music programme.BA beautiful and very successful actress (女演员) was the star for a new musical show. Her home was in the countryside, but she did not want to go back there every night, so she bought an expensive house in the centre of the city, got some beautiful furniture (家具) and got a man to paint the rooms in new colours.It was very difficult to get tickets for her show, because everybody wanted to see it. So she decided to give the painter two of the best seats. She hoped that this would make him work better for her. He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more about them until the end of the month, when she got the painter’s bill (账单). At the bottom of it were these words: “ Four hours watching Miss Hall sing and dance: 3 pounds,” with this note: “After 5 p.m., I get 15 shillings (先令) an hour instead of 10 shillings.”60. The actress bought a house in the centre of the city because ______.A. she liked to live in the busiest placeB. she didn’t like to live in the countryC. her home was far away from where she workedD. she didn’t want to go back to her hometown any longer61.

The actress got the painter’s bill ________.A. to ask for the money of his painting workB. to ask to pay for his watching her showC. in which he showed his thanks for the ticketsD. in which he expressed his dissatisfaction63. What kind of man was the painter?A. He was a careful man.B. He was a poor man.C. He was not friendly to others.D. He knew little about music and dances.CIsn't it astonishing how much time we spend talking about food? “Have you ever eaten …?” “What did you have for lunch?” and so on. And yet when you travel from one country to another, you will find that people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what they eat is normal (正常) and that what other people eat is strange or silly. In most parts of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In England, people eat potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating like so many things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times every day. Australians drink a great deal of beer, and the French drink wine every day.The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another. Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. New Zealanders eat sheep, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy eating raw fish (生鱼).So it seems that although eating is a topic we can talk about for hours, there is very little common sense in what we say it. People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always eaten, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits.64. Which of the following is true according to the article?A. All people have the same feeling about food.B. In most parts of Asia, people usually have rice for meals.C. People often consider other people to be strange or silly.D. The topic people spend time talking about isbread and meat.65. People in different countries ___ .A. drink the same sort of wineB. have the same eating habitC. eat different kinds of meatD. have the same tea at different time within a day66. The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat __ .A. because they dislike its smellB. because it is too expensiveC. because it is easy to go badD. because they think it will do harm to their health67. English people drink tea four or five times a day _ .A. because they get thirsty easilyB. because there is plenty of tea in BritainC. because of their drinking habitD. because they have enough time to do soDThe fact that blind people can see things using other parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us to understand our feelings about color. If they can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected (影响) by color without knowing it. Salesmen have discovered by experience over a long period of time that sugar sells badly in green wrappings (包装), that blue foods are considered not agreeable to the taste ,and that cosmetics (化妆品) should never be packed in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole subject of color psychology (心理学).Some of our preferences (偏爱) are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore connected with calm, while yellow is a day color connected with energy and encouragement. Experiments have shown that colors, partly because they are connected with psychology, also have a direct e ffect on people’s mind. People in bright red surroundings (环境) show an increase in breathing speed, heartbeat and blood pressure. Red is exciting. Pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. Being exciting, red was chosen as the signal for danger, but a closer study shows that a bright yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm, so fire engines in some advanced areas are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop buses, trucks and cars.65. The passage tells us that salesmen have _______.A. found out that colors affect salesB. discovered the relationship between color and psychologyC. tried colors on blind peopleD. developed a special subject of color psychology66. If people are exposed to (置身于) pure blue, _______.A. their body pressure risesB. they won’t easily feel nervousC. they want to taste blue foodsD. they will feel like buying things67. The most effective color in the passage for warning people is _____.A. redB. bright yellowC. dark blueD. green68. Which of the following do you think is the best title of the passage?A. Color and FeelingsB. Colors and SalesC. The Blind and ColorsD. Preferences for ColorsEAntarctica, with its seemingly endless icy beauty, is one place where one look is worth a thousand words. My own dream to see it came true last January when I joined the sixth exploration crew(考查队) of the China National Marine Bureau. We spent 10 days connecting flights to reach our goal, but finally arrived at the Great Wall Station on Antarctica on the eve of Chinese New Year.There are only two seasons in Antarctica: winter and summer. You get polar nights in winter and polar days in summer. Day is longer than night in summer, and the temperature often reaches below zero. Luckily, there are no snowstorms in summer, which makes it the best season to travel. What I imagined before starting for Antarctica was a world of ice, storms, endless cold and loneliness. When I stopped on Antarctica for the first time, however, I saw rich, energetic and beautiful scenery that was beyond anything I had imagined.We only spent 11 days at the South Pole, but every minute was spent taking pictures and losing our heart to the wonderland. Beauty enveloped us as we watched the world around us. The mountains, oceans, ice, snow, sky, earth and people all seemed to have their own stories.Rocks from Antarctica are considered valuable. Unfortunately, I didn’t bring one back. However, my heavy bags full of films are certainly worth that. It is in these pictures that the true Antarctica comes alive.72. What is the best title for this passage?A. Antarctica, my dream world.B. Beautiful Antarctica.C. What I’ve got in Antarctica.D. My visit to Antarctica.73. Why is summer the best season to go to Antarctica?A.There are no snowstorms in summer.B. Night is longer than day in summer.C. The temperature often reaches below zero in summer.D. In this season, Antarctica is world of ice, storms and loneliness.74. What made the writer unexpected(意外) is that he saw_______.A. the only two seasons there: winter and summerB. the world of ice, storms ,endless cold and lonelinessC. the rich, energetic and beautiful sceneryD. the Great Wall Station and many rocks there75. The writer joined the sixth exploration team to _______.A. make some studies of the weather and the animalsB. study the relationship between the weather and the animalsC. collect some information for a scientific study centerD. capture(捕获) the rich, energetic and beautiful scenery第二节: 书面表达（满分25分）假设你是王林，你对Brown先生的公司感兴趣，打算到该公司谋职。

A．missing Ed's funeralB．moving away from his neighborhoodC．forgetting to send Ed Christmas cardsD．not being able to keep in touch with Ed18．From Paragraph4,we can learn that the author of the passage________.A．often failed to write to his friendsB．had no intention to write to his friendsC．had many great moments with his friendsD．was good at expressing feelings to his friends19．What message does the passage probably try to convey?A．Comfort your friends when they are feeling down.B．Life is unpredictable,so live each day as if it were your last.C．Remember to always mail your letters after expressing your words.D．Always make time to value and experience your lasting friendships.【答案】16．A17．D18．A19．DLiving and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days,but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.If I have learned anything in my16years,it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along.With any relationship,you need to let other person know how you are feeling.If you are not able to communicate,you drift apart.When you are mad at your parents,or anyone else,not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.Communication begins with the concerns of another.It means that you can’t just come home from school,go up to your room and ignore everyone.Even if you just say“Hi”and see how their day was for five minutes,it is better than nothing.If you looked up the word“communication”in a dictionary.It would say“the exchange of ideas,the conveyance(表达)of information,means of communication such as a letter or a message”.To keep a good relationship,you must keep communication strong.Let people know how you feel,even if it's Just by writing a note.When dealing with parents,you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent.If you are trying to make them see something as you see it,tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say,but ask them politely to listen to you.Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.This is an example:one night,Sophie went to a street party with her friends.She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks,but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home.That would be rude.After all,they had been nice enough to take her along with them.Needless to say,she was late getting home.Her parents were mad at first,but when Sophie explained why she was late,they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here.If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.Communication isn’t a one-way deal:it goes both ways.Just remember:if you get into a situation like Sophie’s,tell the other person how you feel-listening is the key factor to communication.20．In the writers view,dealing with parents is__________than with children.A．more difficult B．easierC．more uninteresting D．more interesting21．The main idea of the second paragraph is____________.A．the importance of friendshipB．to make your feeling known to othersC．the importance of communicationD．the disagreement between generations22．The example in this passage proves that____________.A．Sophie is very polite to her parentsB．Sophie's parents are willing to listen to herC．explanation is the best way to solve a problemD．communication is the solution(解决办法)to misunderstanding23．All the following statements are correct except____________.A．If you don’t agree with others,you'd better let them knowB．It is better to say“Hi”to others than say nothingC．If you are not able to communicate,walk awayD．Communication is a two-way deal【答案】20．A21．C22．D23．CGreen is an important color in nature.It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.Sometimes,the word“green”means young,fresh and growing.For example,a greenhorn is someone who has no experience.In the15th century,a greenhorn was a young cow or an ox whose horns(角)had not yet developed.A century later,a greenhorn was a soldier who had no experience in war.By the18th century,a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指).The expression comes from the early20th century.A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well.Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling,jealousy(嫉妒).The green-eyed monster(怪物)is not a dangerous animal from outer space.It is an expression used about400years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play“Othello”.It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants.For example,a young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if you get a pay rise and he does not.In most places in the world,a green light means to move ahead.In everyday speech,a green light means agree to continue with a project.24．A greenhorn now refers to________.A．a person who is new in a jobB．a new soldierC．a young horseD．a cow without horns25．A person with a green thumb is a person________.A．who is good at growing plantsB．whose thumbs are of green colorC．whose garden is greener than others’D．who is younger than his neighbors26．A man may meet the green-eyed monster if________.A．he sees a dangerous animalB．he reads a sad playC．his friend gets a prize that he wantsD．he can’t get something27．The main idea of the passage is________.A．a greenhornB．a green thumbC．the Green RevolutionD．the word“green”and its story【答案】24．A25．A26．C27．DWolves are important animals in the traditions and stories of most Native American tribes.To Native Americans,wolves often represent bravery.The animals also are signs of strength,loyalty,and success at hunting.Other cultures--such as the ancient Celtic and Nordic peoples-also placed high value on wolves.However,from the wolves in horror films to the wolves in children’s stories,wolves get a bum rap(不公正的惩罚)in both literature and English expressions.To begin with,there is the term lone wolf.The lone wolf isn’t a bad person.But they like to do things on their own.However,the term can mean something less than desirable.Lonewolf makes you think the person doesn’t want to be around people because he or she dislikes them.Now,let’s move on to the home.Parents might criticize their children for wolfing down their food.In other words,the child eats very quickly and without care.And if someone says a child was raised by wolves, that child has bad manners and is behaving like a wild animal.A wolf at the door means someone to whom you owe money is waiting just outside your door.By the way,there are two popular wolf-related expressions that come from Aesop,the ancient Greek storyteller.The first is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.A wolf in sheep’s clothing describes someone who acts and looks nice on the outside but is bad on the inside.Aesop’s other wolf fable also involves a shepherd,but not a hardworking one.He is known as the boy who cried wolf.People who cry wolf are not trusted.People are so familiar with this story,you simply have to say cry wolf for them to know what you mean. 28．According to the passage,which group of people may think wolves are bad animals? A．The ancient Nordic people B．The ancient Celtic peopleC．Native Americans D．The English people29．Which of the following can describe a person who often acts alone?A．A wild wolf B．A lone wolfC．A wolf at the door D．A wolf in sheep’s clothing30．What may you probably mean by saying someone cries wolf?A．The person is selfish B．The person is a liarC．The person is stubborn D．The person is a troublemaker31．What is the passage mainly about?A．Stories about wolvesB．The research on wolvesC．Expressions about wolvesD．The cultural differences about wolves【答案】28．D29．B30．B31．CJohn H．Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas city in1918．His father died in an accident when John was six．He was reaching the high school age，but his hometown offered no high school for blacks．Fortunately he had a strong﹣willed caring mother．John remembered that his mother told him many times，"Son，you can be anything you want really to be if you just believe．"She told him not to depend on others，including his mother．"You have to earn success，"she said．"All the people who work hard don't succeed，but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard．"These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education．She also knew that believing hard work don't mean everything．So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son，who was then15，to Chicago．Chicago in1933was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for．John's mother and stepfather could not find work．But here John could go to school，and here he learned the power of words﹣as an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School his wish was to publish a magazine for blacks．While others discouraged him，John's mother offered him more words to live by．"Nothing beats a failure but a try．"She also let him pawn（典当）her furniture to get the ﹩500he needed to start the Negro magazine．It is natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful．He always keeps his mother's words in mind．"Son，failure is not in your vocabulary!"Now John H．Johnson is one of the400richest people in America﹣worth﹩150million．32．Why did John's mother decide to move to Chicago?A．his father died when John was very youngB．life was too hard for them to stay on in their hometownC．John needed more education badlyD．there were no schools for Negroes in their hometown33．John's mother．A．didn't believe in or depend on othersB．thought one could be whatever one wanted to beC．believed one would succeed without working hardD．thought no one could succeed without working hard34．What does the underlined sentence"Nothing beats a failure but a try．"mean?A．if you try，you would succeedB．a failure is difficult to beat，even if you tryC．a try is always followed by a failureD．no failure can be beaten unless you try．【答案】32．C33．D34．DIf you’d like to go sightseeing,the following World Heritage Sites may be your best choices.

Luckily,people still have a chance to get these abilities back.You should try to keep your parents’numbers in mind for emergencies.You should also pay more attention to street signs and stores,which will help you to draw a mind map and stop you from getting lost.And the easiest solution to social skill loss is to take a break from electronic products.39．The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that______.A．you are able to turn to others for helpB．others are able to call you anytime and anywhereC．others are unable to get in touch with you by smartphoneD．you are unable to contact others without your smartphone40．The experiment shows that without electronic products,one could______. A．recognize more facial expressions correctlyB．lose the sense of direction frequentlyC．tell different emotions immediatelyD．tell more pictures of faces easily41．Overusing smartphones,people will probably______A．have no sense of numbersB．fail to find their destinationC．lose face-to-face communication skillsD．weaken their senses of hearing and sight42．What’s the writer’s attitude towards electronic products?A．Objective.B．Critical.C．Supportive.D．Optimistic.【答案】39．D40．A41．C42．BA good relationship between students and teachers makes the classroom a very inviting place.When you like your teachers,it’s easier to pay attention to their explanations and improve your marks.When you consider your teachers as friends,you’ll certainly have more respect for them.When your teachers consider you to be a friend,they’ll feel more open in class and that will probably influence the classroom in a positive way.Now here are some tips to develop a friendly relationship with your teachers:Ask questions.If you have any questions about that subject,ask them.Show them that you’re interested in their subjects.That will make them notice you.But never ask questions that you already know the answers to.If your teachers realize that you are not asking real questions,they might think that you’re not actually trying to learn,but only trying to make an impression.Talk about non-school subjects.When you see one of your teachers in the hall,greet him/her and ask if he/she is going to that concert or if he/she has seen that movie.That way you’ll show that you consider him/her as a reined.Some teachers don’t like to have friendly relationships with students,but most of them are happy to chat with their students.After a while,they may start to talk with you about non-school subjects in the classroom.The rest is totally up to you;it is very easy to develop a friendly relationship with any of your teachers.If you want to be friends with your teachers,just treat them as friends,but don’t forget that no matter how good friends you are,they will still be your teachers and deserve your respect.43．What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?A．How to make friends with your teachers in or out of class.B．How important a good teacher-student relationship is.C．How to make yourself pay attention to your teachers in class.D．Some tips for developing a friendly relationship with your teachers.44．When you ask a teacher questions you already know the answers to,__________. A．you may make a fool of yourself trying to be smartB．it means that you should not be above asking questionsC．you are actually trying to make fun of your teachersD．it shows that you’re trying to pretend to know everything45．What’s the main idea of this passage?A．What a good teacher-student relationship is.B．How to make friends with your classmates at school.C．How to make the classroom a very inviting place.D．How to develop a good relationship with your teachers.【答案】43．B44．A45．DElephants are able to know the difference between a man and a woman,and can tell an adult(成年人)from a child—all from the sound of a human voice.This is according to a study in which researchers played voice recordings to wild African elephants.The animals showed more fear when they heard the voices of adult Masai ually Masai people hunt elephants,and this suggests that animals have grown to listen for and avoid them.Prof.Karen McComb and Dr Graeme Shannon from the University of Sussex led the study.They explained that in former research they had used similar experiments to show that elephants could tell—from the sound of a lion—whether the animal was a female(雌性)or a more dangerous male(雄性).Prof.McComb wanted to find out if the animals used their very sharp sense of hearing to recognize danger from humans.The scientists recorded Masai men,women and children saying,in their own language,“Look,look over there,a group of elephants are coming.”They also recorded Kamba mensaying this phrase.Masai people often come across elephants,which can result in violent(暴力的)hunting. Kamba people,however,mainly feed on agriculture,which does not generally bring them into violent touch with the animals.When the team played recordings of these different voices through a hidden speaker, they found that elephant family groups showed more fear in response to the voice of a Masai man,than to a Kamba man’s voice.And the adult male Masai voices caused far more violent response than the voices of women or boys.46．An elephant can tell a man from a woman by sense of________.A．touch B．sight C．smell D．hearing 47．How did the researchers get to know the elephants’special ability?A．By watching the elephants in the zoo.B．By playing voice recordings to them. C．By recording the behaviors of elephants.D．By communicating with them in a special way.48．We can learn from the passage that elephants are especially afraid of________. A．Masai men B．Masai women C．Kamba men D．Kamba women 49．What is the best title for the passage?A．Elephants and Human Beings B．Differences Between Human Voices C．Elephants Recognize Human Voices D．Elephants at War with Human Beings【答案】46．D47．B48．A49．CEarthquakes are something that people fear.There are some places that have few or no earthquakes.Most places in the world,however,have them regularly.Countries that have a lot of earthquakes are usually quite mountainous.The most talked about earthquake in the United States was in San Francisco in1906. Over700people died in it.The strongest one in North America was in1964.It happened in Alaska.Strong earthquakes are not always the ones that kill the most people.In1755,one of thestrongest earthquakes ever recorded was felt in Portugal.Around2,000people died.In1923,a very strong earthquake hit Tokyo,Yokohama area of Japan.A hundred and forty thousand people died.Most of them died in fires which followed the earthquake.One of the worst earthquakes ever was in China in2008.It killed a large number of people.The worst earthquake ever reported was also in China,in which400,000people were killed or injured.This earthquake happened in1556.Earthquakes worry people a lot.The reason is that we often do not know when they are coming.People cannot prepare for earthquakes.50．Earthquakes happen________.A．in all the places in the worldB．only in the countries that have a lot of mountainsC．regularly in most places in the worldD．only in a few places along the coast51．When and where was the worst earthquake ever reported?A．In1964in Alaska.B．In1556in China.C．In1923in Japan.D．In2008in China.52．According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true?A．The stronger the earthquake is,the more people are killed.B．Earthquakes often come unexpectedly.C．Earthquakes can cause fires.D．People still don't know how to tell when an earthquake will come.53．What may be talked about in the seventh paragraph?A．How do earthquakes worry people?B．What will people do to prepare for earthquakes?C．How can we save people when earthquakes happen?D．How do earthquakes happen?【答案】50．C51．B52．A53．B。

Her home was in the countryside, but she did not want to go back there every night, so she bought an expensive house in the centre of the city, got some beautiful furniture (家具) and got a man to paint the rooms in new colours.It was very difficult to get tickets for her show, because everybody wanted to see it. So she decided to give the painter two of the best seats. She hoped that this would make him work better for her. He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more about them until the end of the month, when she got the painter’s bill (账单). At the bottom of it were these words: “ Four hours watching Miss Hall sing and dance: 3 pounds,” with this note: “After 5 p.m.,I get 15 shillings (先令) an hour instead of 10 shillings.”35.

And yet when you travel from one country to another, you will find that people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what they eat is normal (正常) and that what other people eat is strange or silly. In most parts of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In England, people eat potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating like so many things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times every day. Australians drink a great deal of beer, and the French drink wine every day.The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another. Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. New Zealanders eat sheep, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy eating raw fish (生鱼).So it seems that although eating is a topic we can talk about for hours, there is very little common sense in what we say it. People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always eaten, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits.39. Which of the following is true according to the article?A. All people have the same feeling about food.B. In most parts of Asia, people usually have rice for meals.C. People often consider other people to be strange or silly.D. The topic people spend time talking aboutis bread and meat.40. People in different countries ___ .A. drink the same sort of wineB. have the same eating habitC. eat different kinds of meatD. have the same tea at different time within a day41. The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat __ .A. because they dislike its smellB. because it is too expensiveC. because it is easy to go badD. because they think it will do harm to their health42. English people drink tea four or five times a day _ .A. because they get thirsty easilyB. because there is plenty of tea in BritainC. because of their drinking habitD. because they have enough time to do soDThe fact that blind people can see things using other parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us to understand our feelings about color. If they can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected (影响) by color without knowing it. Salesmen have discovered by experience over a long period of time that sugar sells badly in green wrappings (包装), that blue foods are considered not agreeable to the taste ,and that cosmetics (化妆品) should never be packed in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole subject of color psychology (心理学).Some of our preferences (偏爱) are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore connected with calm, while yellow is a day color connected with energy and encouragement. Experiments have shown that colors, partly because they are connected with psychology, also have a direct effect on people’s mind. People in bright red surroundings (环境) show an increase in breathing speed, heartbeat and blood pressure. Red is exciting. Pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. Being exciting, red was chosen as the signal for danger, but a closer study shows that a bright yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm, so fire engines in some advanced areas are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop buses, trucks and cars.43. The passage tells us that salesmen have _______.A. found out that colors affect salesB. discovered the relationship between color and psychologyC. tried colors on blind peopleD. developed a special subject of color psychology45. If people are exposed to (置身于) pure blue, _______.A. their body pressure risesB. they won’t easily feel nervousC. they want to taste blue foodsD. they will feel like buying things46. The most effective color in the passage for warning people is _____.A. redB. bright yellowC. dark blueD. green47. Which of the following do you think is the best title of the passage?A. Color and FeelingsB. Colors and SalesC. The Blind and ColorsD. Preferences for ColorsEAntarctica, with its seemingly endless icy beauty, is one place where one look is worth a thousand words. My own dream to see it came true last January when I joined the sixth exploration crew(考查队) of the China National Marine Bureau. We spent 10 days connecting flights to reach our goal, but finally arrived at the Great Wall Station on Antarctica on the eve of Chinese New Year.There are only two seasons in Antarctica: winter and summer. You get polar nights in winter and polar days in summer. Day is longer than night in summer, and the temperature often reaches below zero. Luckily, there are no snowstorms in summer, which makes it the best season to travel. What I imagined before starting for Antarctica was a world of ice, storms, endless cold and loneliness. When I stopped on Antarctica for the first time, however, I saw rich, energetic and beautiful scenery that was beyond anything I had imagined.We only spent 11 days at the South Pole, but every minute was spent taking pictures and losing our heart to thewonderland. Beauty enveloped us as we watched the world around us. The mountains, oceans, ice, snow, sky, earth and people all seemed to have their own stories.Rocks from Antarctica are considered valuable. Unfortunately, I didn’t bring one back. However, my heavy bags full of films are certainly worth that. It is in these pictures that the true Antarctica comes alive.48.
